PARIS Project for St. Mary Church Place d'Europe

Description: Project for a Church Situated on the Place d'Europe in Paris Another Fine Quality Print from Martin2001 Print Specifics: Type of print: Intaglio, Steel engraving Year of printing: 1849 Publisher: Cesar Daly, Paris, Rue de Furstemberg No. 4. Condition: 1-2 (1. Excellent - 2. Very good - 3. Good - 4. Fair)When I received this scarce print, it was affected by age and folded in half (by the publisher) as shown in the last two b/w photos (not included). I had the print cleaned, removed the original paper binding strip, smoothed out the fold and applied archival tape on the back to prevent it from reoccurring. The fold is now much less noticeable.The images appear less 'contrasty' due to the very fine engraved lines, which are so thin that they appear to be printed with gray ink. Dimensions: 18 x 13 inches, (45 x 33 cm) including blank margins (borders) around the image.Paper weight: 2 (1. Thick - 2. Heavier - 3. Medium heavy - 4. Slightly heavier - 5. Thin)Reverse side: BlankNote: 1. Green color around the print in the photo is a contrasting background on which the print was photographed. 2. Print detail is sharper than he photo of the print. 3. Due to its dimensions, the print will be mailed in a sturdy tube. 4. The last photo (NOT INCLUDED) shows the location of the project, located between the streets Rue de London and Rue de berlin (no Rue de Liege). Narrative (machine translated from French, no editing): This monument offers approximately the same built surface area as the one which stands on Place Bellechasse, that is to say 40 meters from the front to 100 depth. At the entrance, two chapels, one for baptism, the other for religious instructions, arranged so as to be used without disturbing church ceremonies. Laterally on the steps which lead to the porch, special ramps giving access to the chapels of which we we talked; at their entrance, the four figures of the Evangelists. At the height of the transept rises a vast dome embracing the nave and the aisles, and arranged in such a way as to leave free the exits from the aisles which continue around the apse; then the chapel of Confession, that of the Dead, the sacristies and the treasury; then the high heat of a few steps, and the sanctuary dominating the choir; some particular chapels, and that of the Virgin in the center, quite large to contain the faithful during the celebration of month of Mary. CONSTRUCTION: The layouts of the plan and vertical projections explain the construction system; however some details will be helpful. It will be noted that, unlike biased towards the Middle Ages, the support points being all interior, they are thus protected from deterioration produced by time. The isolated support points, and the projections of the double arches which connect them to the aisles, indicate that the resistances were anticipated; thus, the long side of the plan pillars heading from the nave towards the aisles, these are arranged as favorably as possible to counter the thrust of the main vault. At the birth of this vault is established a system of iron belts connecting the entire construction. The extensions of the double arches form as many external buttresses salient. The monument and its annexes are circumscribed by the streets of London, of Berlin, the Place d'Europe, and subsequently, by a street projected as an extension of the rue de Turin; in this way, the construction is isolated from all sides. When new housing has been added to those existing, that the Europe district will have its streets fully built, which cannot take long, I have no doubt that the administration does not actively take care of the realization of the project of a monument which must be one of the conditions of life and growth of this new population Martin2001 Satisfaction Guaranteed Policy!
